Losses by Fire.
An exchange thinko it is strango
how accustomed people will become to
the repeated occurrence of events
which, if there were but one in a life
time, or even in a series of years,
would create the most intense excite
ment. Note, as an instance, adds tho
Fircinun's Junnuil, the destruction of
property by fire in this country.
Think how many men, how much cap
ital, and how great a share of the in
telligent thought of the land are kept
constantly employed because of this.
Every municipality in the land is con
stantly agitated over tho question of
fire extinguishment, every property
owner over the question of fire insur
ance, and every builder and property
owner over that of fire prevention.
Each in turn gives employment to a
vast number of mon whoso whole
thought is engrossed by this annual
wiping out of existence of a portion of
the wealth of the land, by no means
inconsiderable, whether regarded ab
solutelj, or in its relation to the en
tire production of the year. Thus,
since the 1st of January thore has
been destroyed by fire in this coun
try, 34,900, 27 worth of property,
and wo may reasonably expect that
tns unal snowing tor tlie wnole year
will not be less than $SO,000,000.
Unsatisfied Mortgages.
Under the mortgage tax law,
en
the acted by the last legislature.
county clerk is required to furnish to
the assessor,' on the 1st of August, an
abstract of all unsatisfied mortgages
showing the owners of the same and
the amount due thereon; and it is
made the duty of the assessor to as
sess such debt and security for the full
amount that appears from the records
to be owing, unless the land mortgaged
is not worth as much as appears due
on such mortgages, and in that event
to assess the security at what he con
considers its cash value. Under the
law all unsatisfied mortgages are re
quired to be assessed. The county
clerk is now compiling an abstract
that will be ready at the requisite
time. The number in Clatsop county
will be small, not ascresatin" over
00.

All for Sensation.
Here you are. Our sensation paper.
Our paper which has and must have
something new, true, horrible and
startlins in it once every twenty-four
hours. Something to curdle the
blood and thrill tho nerves. Some
thing to electrify 3ou and wake you up
all over when you touch it at tho
breakfast table. One of the great
features of this latter half of the nine
teenth century. Everything fi3h that
comes to our net. Only one idea pre
vades us in making this paper. Sen-
satio! Print truth, print lies, print
scandal, print prudency, print any
thing. Sensation! Ruin character,
wound feelings, break hearts, break
into privacy, invade into private life,
do anything, so that the one great
end is answered.
Sensation! Defend morality and
publish licentiousness in disguise in
its defense. Defend purity and
virtue, and besmirch a reputation
daily in their defense. Find abuses
and publish a column of rot in ferret
ing them out. Find you "moral
cankers," "moral cancer;?," "craters
of vice" in ten minutes. Sink or
swim, live or die, rule or ruin, sour,
savage, cynical and sensational.
Bound to raise a laugh or blush or hit,
and then publish the "disgusting de
tails," and stimulate everybody's curi
osity to know more. High jinkal
High pressure!
Our principles? Sensation? Es
pouse a cause of reform? Of course,
thero's only a sensation iu it.
Hard work? Yes, it is to keep the
thing up to boiling point. Expletives
fail, superlatives give out, and start
ling headlines run dry. There come
awfully dull days when everything is
monotonously proper and nobody does
anything fiendish, and it is impossible
to invent any new kind of iniquity;
but, thank fortune, there are very
few of thorn. Graphic.
Steamer Days.
Following is a resume of sailing
dates for ocean steamers for July,
